All of the rental sleeping bags they carry are top-quality; well-designed, relatively lightweight bags that will help keep you warm and dry at night. All of their sleeping bags have a synthetic material fill; natural down is slightly lighter and more expensive, but if you get it wet, you’re basically screwed for a few days until it dries out. Synthetic filled bags will still function fairly well even if they get wet. For those reasons, they decided to stick to the synthetic fills for all of the bags we carry, although they don’t stuff down as well as the down ones. And yes, these sleeping bags are fully washed each bag between rentals, so you won’t be catching any bugs or anything from the prior renter - here’s me in action. Lot’s of fun.

There are many factors that influence your comfort, including your metabolism. Such as; what you’re wearing, the quality of your mattress pad, the size of your tent, and how many campers are in the tent with you. It might be tempting to always take the warmest bag possible, but be aware that the warmer the bag, usually it's also bulkier and heavier to carry. On the other hand, you can always just unzip a too-warm sleeping bag to get comfortable.

LowerGear offers top-quality, lightweight sleeping gear from Sierra Designs, Kelty, Marmot, ThermaRest, and others. All sleeping gear is recent model issue in brand new or virtually new condition. Everything is cleaned and disinfected after each rental. They also carry offer an ultralight bag liner for rent to add warmth to one of our other bags or to use by itself on hot summer nights.

The best sleeping bag is only part of the equation. What's underneath you is equally important. They do carry a selection of mattresses from ThermaRest, the unquestioned leader in camping mattresses. The mattress pad can have as much to do with how warm you sleep as the sleeping bag, and don’t believe what you see in Westerns where the cowboy just throws down a saddle and sleeps on the ground, it is actually quite miserable without a mattress pad, even on a tent floor. Select the one best for your trip and weather.

To maximize comfort and the warmth capacity of the bag, always use a mattress.. Don’t try to save a few bucks and plan to just sleep directly on the tent floor, you’ll be in for one miserable night. And the mattress pad can have as much to do with how warm you are as the bag. Another hint – if you have excess room lengthwise in your bag, stuff some of your clothes in the bottom to help keep your feet warm and reduce the amount of air inside the bag your body heat has to try to warm up, or throw in a hand warmer packet. If you want to add another 5–10° warmth to any sleeping bag rental, they rent bag liners that are also good as a standalone bag at 55-60° or more.
